Well, it's all gone swimmingly. :o)

Thank you all, you're a generous bunch, who obviously love the group. I may
host the group, but it clearly belongs to everyone here, and now many of
you actually do own shares. ;o)

In Australian dollars we're up to about $560. After donations flew in in
the first 24 hours, we've slowed to a trickle in the second 24, but it's
all good, as there's money there to fund the UPS.

So next week I'll most likely be buying one of these:

I notice it says $818 on there, but I can pick one up just under $600, so
we've already made it. I'm sure I can find that extra $20 in my pocket somewhere.
;o)

I'll leave the donations button up for a bit more, as a future option is
one of these:

http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_ sku=BR24BP

....which would give us over 3X the backup time, and I can pick one up for
around $270ish, so I think it's money well spent. It costs 50% the price
of the UPS, and gives 200%+ more backup time. I'm guessing with this we'll
get a good 3 hours out of the system, and outages that long are pretty rare
of course.

Thanks again to everybody who donated. Honestly I was surprised at the generousity.
I was really only hoping to get about half what we did, so to get a figure
like that, well it's just excellent. You all rock!

Cheers,
Kim.
